Aluminum Screw Top Tin with Cover, 3.25"

Perfect travel dish for my shave soap puck

I just used this shaving soap dish for my first travel-with-a-soap-puck vacation (for vacations, I typically use either a tube shave cream or downgrade to an aerosol can). So, there are drawbacks to this soap tin. The tin is shallow, so whipping a good lather requires some skill and VERY LIGHT water use. The tin dents easily, too (just minor stuff - but the metal is thin). Those drawbacks stated, the tin does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do. Even has an element of "shabby chic" as far as the easy denting and surface finish. I was especially pleased the diameter fits a standard shaving soap puck **PERFECTLY** ! I could not be happier!

Was dented as it arrived: Fine, it probably will get dented during its lifetime anyway. I had hoped the box and the shaving soap bar that I bought would be a better fit -- oh well.

I’m going to keep it because for my purposes it will do but, it’s not durable. It came with dents and frankly, packaged the way it was, I don’t see how it could resist damage in shipping.

I bought a shave soap 🧼 that didn't come with it's own container and this works perfectly, I tore label off of the soap and taped it to the top of the tin lid and covered it with strong clear tape to keep it from getting wet, gathering from the tin works with no problem.

I bought this because I make my own shave cream (you know, in that Alchemy lab I have in the basement) and the plastic tub I used (recycled from a major brand) got dropped in the shower at the club and cracked (the plastic tub, not the shower or the club). So it was leaking all over inside my shaving kit bag which got messy in a hurry. I found this on Amazon and was reluctant to buy it because it seemed to me too small. Wrong. It's actually a really useful size and it's very well made. Threads easily (even with wet, slippery hands), is essentially unbreakable, won't get tagged by the TSA when I travel (for being too big) and holds a months worth of my homemade sandlewood-lime-bay shaving cream (okay, I have a beard so I don't do a full facial shave -- haven't since I was a teenager -- but the parts I DO shave I need something to keep my skin from going nuts afterward. So, for me, this will last months. For everybody else, probably a week or two). Now, holding shaving cream isn't all it's good for, I'm sure -- so if you have a need for one of these, this is the one to get.

Not the best, but does the job. I use it to store my shaving soap bar. It came not well packed and was slightly dented when it arrived.

This tin fits a standard size shaving puck perfectly. Excellent for travel and looks nice sitting on the counter. It would be easy to find a nice sticker to decorate the top, but, I like the look of it as is, just plain metal...
